We made it to the front page of Digg, we hit our 500 descriptions milestone and Google has indexed over 200 pages of our site.<br /><br />Let’s start Link Building<br />You all know that link building is the most important SEO activity out there. So let’s get our site to the top pages of Google and build some links. Every link you create will earn you credits. Check out the full details on the amount of credits per link on the link earning page. Once the link is live, you can claim it with our <a href="http://www.webmastervocab.com/the_project/claimalink.php">claim a link</a> form. After submission, the link will be reviewed and we will add the credits to your account. These credits will stay in your account as long as the link remains present.<br /><br />Earning Credits<br />We have restructured the <a href="http://www.webmastervocab.com/the_project/earncredits.php">earnings page</a> a bit to make it easier for you to find the information you are after.<br />There are no major changes in how you can earn credits since last week besides the link building. All the bonuses programs are still active.<br /><br /><br />Other New Stuff:<br />- You can no longer add a word without a description. As words without a description do not appear in our dictionary these submissions don’t add a lot of value anymore.<br />- I published my todo list so you can follow how far I have progressed in implementing your suggestion.<br /><br />The future:<br />Now that we have achieved our original plan: more than 50 members and more than 500 descriptions what is the plan for the future?<br /><br />The next step is to put you more in charge of the project. As a first step I would like to create a management team. Every manager will run a part of the project. For example we will have a ‘Manager of Web Celebs’. This person will decide which web celebs will be added, will be the central point for feedback and prioritise changes and improvements.<br /><br />As this is a crucial decision for the project, the managers will be elected by all of you. Over the next weeks we will put the functionality (members forum, new plan,...) in place to make this happen.<br /><br />So have a think if you want to become a part of the webmastervocab management team and let’s go and build some links!<br /><br />Go Web3.0<br /><br />EmcoEmcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05868243386746911948noreply@blogger.com
